  • A record size agate find for me on this rock hunt...weighing in at slightly over 9 pounds! Plus a 7 pound agate and a couple 4 pounders! Wow! I had to make it a short hunt because I couldn't lift my backpack with anything more in it!
    If you are looking to add to your collection, I will be putting these up on Ebay shortly...

    Great finds! I really like when you don’t tell us what rock you are looking at and ask us if we see it. It really has helped me train my eyes when I am out there looking for good stuff.

    Kim, Since you insist on finding such big, heavy agates, you might want to talk to KatyDid. Her husband Jim has a cart that I saw in a video a while back that looked like it would go over rough terrain pretty well. I'd hate to see you hurt yourself carrying too much, or have to leave something cool behind because it's too heavy. So nice to see you out making videos again! Thanks for sharing your hunts with us.

    Omg I love your channel. I’m a 65 year old woman who lives way up in NY (about five miles from the Canadian border) and we don’t have agates. But your channel has inspired this old lady to get a rock tumbler and supplies and start to tumble my own. I’ve always loved and collected rocks and you encouraged me to try it. Thank you sooooo much ♥️ wonderful finds today. Congratulations 🎈

The universe seems very pleased with your human cuz you be attracting the jewels. This may sound crazy but we’ll, … actually it is crazy but it’s the facts of life. Two years ago I received a gift, or more of an upgrade rather that allows me to see details in nature that I could not see in the past. I’m talking about mind blowing scenes of the holographic/fractile universe that makes up what we know as reality. The truth is that I really am crazy, you can just ask my kids. I typically don’t throw myself under the bus but I just saw some shit that even blew my mind. I took some screenshots so if I can maintain a morsel of focus in the next few days I will share my vision. If i can successfully articulate this imagery you will be like 😮
